Currently the Global initiative for COPD suggests the use of long acting beta agonists (LABAs) and long acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs) in combination for the majority of COPD patients, thus great interest is associated with the developing of LAMA/LABA fixed combination in the maintenance treatment of stable COPD. The cornerstones of treatment are bronchodilator drugs of two different classes: beta agonists and muscarinic antagonists. Great efforts were spent in the development of drugs able to improve symptoms, quality of life, reduce exacerbations, hospitalizations and the frequency of death of patients with COPD. 5Department of Emergency, Spedali Civili di Brescia, Brescia, ItalyĬhronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common disabling disease characterized by progressive airflow obstruction.4Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, Section of Respiratory Diseases, University “Magna Græcia” of Catanzaro, Catanzaro, Italy.3Department of Medicine, Spedali Civili di Brescia, Brescia, Italy.2Respiratory Unit, Sant’Andrea Hospital, Vercelli, Italy.

The two companies entered into a strategic alliance for development and commercialisation of different therapeutic areas in March 2004, which gave an option for GSK to license exclusive development and commercialisation rights of the product candidates from certain Theravance discovery programmes. GSK entered into an agreement with Theravance for the development of and commercialisation of long-acting beta2 agonist (LABA) products in November 2002. The drug was launched in the US market in April 2014. Marketing commentary for GSK’s / Theravance’s drugĪnoro ellipta is the first dual bronchodilator available in the US market. The assessment of UMEC/VI by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) included an analysis of eight Phase III clinical trials on 6,000 COPD patients, of which 1,296 patients received the recommended dose of UMEC/VI 55/22mcg once-daily. Secondary outcome measures included the proportion of subjects who were responsive to umeclidinium / vilanterol, umeclidinium or Vilanterol according to FEV1 at day one, and the proportion of subjects who had a larger change from baseline in 0-6 h WM FEV1 on Day 14 with umeclidinium / vilanterol compared with umeclidinium and Vilanterol alone. The primary outcome measure of the study was finding the weighted mean FEV1 zero to six hours post dose after 14 days of treatment.

Patients were administered with umeclidinium 62.5mcg, vilanterol 25mcg and Umeclidinium plus Vilanterol 62.5/25mcg. The study enrolled 182 subjects with COPD. It was a randomised, double blind, three-way cross over study. This study was based on the NDA submitted in the US.
